{"product_id":"epic-athletes-lionel-messi","title":"Epic Athletes: Lionel Messi","description":"Renowned sports journalist Dan Wetzel shoots and scores with Epic Athletes: Lionel Messi, an inspiring young readers biography of a soccer great who rose from an underdog to a champion!\n\nFeaturing comic-style illustrations by Jay Reed!\n\nLionel Messi has taken the soccer world by storm. He scored the most goals in a season. He's racked up championships. There was even a statue built in his honor. Despite the accolades, he's still hungry for more goals, more championships, more opportunities to shine on the soccer pitch. Messi's drive to succeed has motivated him ever since he first stepped on his local, worn down field as a kid.\n\nYet his success didn't come without bumps in the road. Diagnosed with a career-threatening medical condition at ten, Messi refused to give up on his dream, and went on to amass one of the greatest careers in sports history. Filled with sports action and bold illustrations, this thrilling biography details the rise of a living soccer legend.\n\nPraise for Epic Athletes:\n\n\"An unusually informative and enjoyable sports biography for young readers.\" ―Booklist, starred review for Epic Athletes: Stephen Curry\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250619831\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250619831.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wetzel, Dan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
